Collections Revealed at New York Fashion Week

(upbeat music)

During the fashion week

it s how they put together a show.

How something looks in a presentation

or on the runway.

It doesn t matter to me that they have no money

or they have tons of money.

What are the choices that they ve made

to present themselves?

Some do a fantastic job

and some seem to think it s not important.

(upbeat music)

You only really get five chances to talk to the judges

in any kind of format.

Whether it s directly, indirectly, or with your clothes.

And then maybe there s your own show that the judges go to.

So those five opportunities,

and I can t really count,

so it could be more, it could be less,

that s your chance.

And I wouldn t have missed it even on a Sunday,

Thanks a lot for getting me out of the house.

We like to get him out of the house.

It s great to see a young brand present.

It s interesting to see how they see themselves,

and an amazing crowd of people

that a lot of them are wearing those types of clothes.

(cheering)

They re genuine and you don t see them

just disappearing off the face of the planet.

(energetic electronic music)

First time we ever did a presentation,

the first time we d ever presented our stuff

in an extremely public setting.

I don t think I remember being nervous.

I was more nervous about the music.

I had my nextdoor neighbor in charge of the music play,

and wasn t entirely sure how reliable he was.

I d actually quite like to see the guest list from that.

Meredith Melling Burke came...

I have no idea who else came.

Drew Barrymore came, I remember that.

Yeah, that was good.

It was nerveracking, but we had a really great turn-out.

I don t know if fun is the word,

but it was a great experience.

(calm music)

I get the sort of sense from him

that it s much more about the art

than it is about the commas.

Not necessarily anything wrong with that.

But sometimes you wonder like a little bit

what s the point?

Some of it.

Can t see us wearing those onesies.

Maybe you. (laughs)

On the weekend.

What I thought was clever

is that he put three or four girls in there

and the clothes translated really well.

I thought his show was very very directional.

More directional than Public School.

He s very talented,

but don t know whether it was the right point of view

to show in America.

He s in a market that doesn t necessarily have the...

[David] Tolerance.

But if he d done it in Paris,

I think people would ve been like Wow, that s great!

(energetic electronic music)

If you compare them to Public School,

there s obviously a much wider audience,

and they could be very successful in Japan I think.

It s cleaner, it s modern, it s performance fabrics

mixed with tailored clothing.

Casting was actually pretty good.

The guys with beards.

There was quite an eclectic bunch of race and age,

so I thought it was quite cool.

Go.

Killer, go.

Go.

They re kinda staying only in the night.

He s just focusing on evening wear.

It was cool, but I don t know how on trend it was.

It s tough on the figure I think.

Little too much information.

I did like some of the ones that had that wrap,

two-tone, they were cool.

Like very sort of saturated color.

I thought they were pretty.

Some of the judges look at it from an

aesthetic point of view.

We don t necessarily look at it that way.

We look at it as is that designer got what it takes?

In our humble opinion, to be really successful,

not just from a business perspective either,

are they gonna make a difference in the world?

And I think this is criteria

that you need to judge these people on.

Then we all go to Anna s and they presented.

I think the process has maybe evolved since our day.

This year it s Uniqlo,

so it s gotta be something that has an athletic appeal.

[David] Form follows function, I didn t get that-

Well, I get the idea,

I just didn t see that in the clothes as much.
